Question:
The charge to rent a trailer is $25 for up to 2 hours plus $9 per additional hour or portion of an hour.
Find the cost to rent a trailer for 2.8 hours, 3 hours, and 8.7 hours.
Then graph all ordered pairs, (hours, cost), for the function.
Answer:
ordered pair = (2.8, 34)
ordered pair = (3, 34)
ordered pair = (8.7, 88)
Step-by-step explanation:
Charge for 2.8 hours:
$25 for 2 hours
$9 for 0.8 hour
Total = $25 + $9
Total = $34
ordered pair = (2.8, 34)
Charge for 3 hours:
$25 for 2 hours
$9 for 1 hour
Total = $25 + $9
Total = $34
ordered pair = (3, 34)
Charge for 8.7 hours:
$25 for 2 hours
$9 for 1 hour
$9 for 1 hour
$9 for 1 hour
$9 for 1 hour
$9 for 1 hour
$9 for 1 hour
$9 for 0.7 hour
Total = $25 + $9 + $9 + $9 + $9 + $9 + $9 + $9
Total = $88
ordered pair = (8.7, 88)
The obtained ordered pairs are graphed, please refer to the attached graph.
Answer:
Sorry this is late and I think this is right.
They are both parallel, they have the same slope, and do <em>not </em>intersect. If you were to draw a slope out for it, you would find this to be true.
For example: Say the question called for you to explain why there aren't any solutions to these system of inequalities:
<em>y < - 1/2x -3</em>
<em>y > 1/2x + 2</em>
<em>y= -x/2 -3</em> and <em>y= -x/2 + 2 </em>have the same exact slope, are parallel, and never intersect. The first line is 5 units below the second line when x = 0. Because the lines are parallel, it is always below the second line. The solutions of y < - x/2 -3 are the points in the plane below the first line. The solutions of y > 1/2 + 2 are points above the second line.
